Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

This home's walls in the room below the stoop are made of red brick and they're experiencing severe deterioration. There are very large cracks and the main support beam is sagging. To prevent complete wall failure from damaging the home, we installed EverBrace on three walls in the stoop room and four SupportJacks to the support beam. EverBrace acts like a new foundation wall so the homeowner won't have to worry about the brick anymore! 

This homeowner had foundation piers installed around the entire home by another company just last year. In the span of nine months, the home settled another two inches. The homeowner decided he wanted a permanent fix, so he gave us a call. We used push piers to permanently lift and stabilize the foundation and we used PolyLevel to fill voids, lift, and stabilize the foundation slab. Lastly, we used SmartJacks to permanently stabilize the home's floor support. 

This customer has lived in her home for quite a while, but recently she's noticed one of her basement walls start to crumble. She's concerned that if it isn't fixed soon the wall could completely fail. The home was built a long time ago and likely had a crawlspace foundation. At some point they dug out the crawlspace and made room for storage and for the HVAC and water heater. Rather than installing a proper concrete wall, they put a concrete skim coating over the dirt wall that was dug out. Over time the pressure of the soil caused the concrete to fail. To repair the wall we used two Smartjack XT to support the floor above, and EverBrace to reinforce the basement wall to prevent any further degradation. 

In Colorado, the soil can cause problems for many foundations. This home was built on special supports called caissons to stop it from sinking into the soil. But there was a mistake—the house sank and twisted because the foundation was too heavy for the caissons. Other contractors thought the walls were leaning, but that wasn't the real problem. Even the engineer didn't put the support piers in the right place to stabilize the whole house.

To fix it, we made a plan to install piers all around the house to stop the home from sinking and to stabilize the foundation. We also used smart jacks to support the main beam in the middle of the house. 

Before Thrasher fixed the problems, the homeowner wasn't allowed to sell the house because of the problems it had. But when we fixed it, they said the crews did a good job and finished on time. They were so happy that they even asked us to do more work with concrete for them. They trusted us with their home and we hope you can too.

We we able to meet this customer's needs by providing a detailed plan that fit their budget. The customer cared a lot about the property and wanted it to stay stable for a long time. There were two main problems: part of the house was sinking near the edge of the property, and one wall was sinking and moving sideways because of water pressure.  We used push piers to lift the foundation up and keep it from sinking in the future. Our team made the necessary changes and the customer was so pleased that they gave us a five-star rating.
